Two main factors qualify the post-war European experience. First the European Left was strong, especially the Communist party, its prestige enhanced by the leading role it had played in the Resistance. There was no comparable pole of attraction in Cold War America. Second, whereas America was now rich, richer by far than in the Depression years of the 1930s, Europe was devastated.

‘Calyx’ Lucienne Day

Calyx, the first design that brought her real fame, was exhibited at the Festival of Britain in 1951. A large expanse of it hung in the Homes and Gardens
pavilion, in the "contemporary" dining room designed by Robin. The pattern of free-floating cusps or mushroom caps, Lucienne's fresh interpretation of
the geometry of nature, was screen-printed on linen. The original colouring – so redolent of the festival – was sharp yellow, orange, black and white on an
olive ground.

The feelings of the moment are nicely captured in Humphrey Jennings’ contemporary film documentary of England in 1951, ‘Family Portrait’. The
title itself points to something distinctive about the country- no documentary film-maker in France or Italy or Germany or Belgium would have thought to use it. The film is a celebration of Englishness, strongly coloured by shared recollections of suffering and glory in the recent war, and it is suffused with
only partly self-conscious pride in the peculiarities of the place. There is much emphasis upon science and progress, design and work. And there is no
reference whatsoever to England’s (sic) neighbours or allies. The country is presented in 1951 as it truly stood in 1941: alone

This is Tomorrow, Whitechapel Gallery 1956
![Page 40: Week 4 paul_and_simon](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/557db3ecd8b42acb768b54ac/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
During the 1950s mass production and new technologies were celebrated by the Media. Novel materials were to influence all areas of life, from the daily maintenance of the living space to the built environment as well as the production of art.
Architect and writer Theo Crosby’s initial idea for an exhibition involving architects, artists, designers and theorists resulted in This is Tomorrow which took place at the Whitechapel in 1956 in collaboration with members of the Independent Group. The theme was the ‘modern’ way of living and the exhibition was based on a model of collaborative art practice. The 38 participants formed 12 groups, which worked towards producing one artwork. The outcome transformed the Whitechapel Gallery into a vibrant interactive space of installations.
